The Subtle Look

This piece was created in painter with oil paints and finished in photoshop. I wanted to try a new style and understand my programs more, and great practice for a new project! lol Also the model is a Deviant friend, [link] and this is a gift to her for helping out a lot of people on here (I'm happy she liked it too). I normally don't use models, (I sometimes check reference for pose in a complex piece or get inspired by a quick look at a cool pose.) So I hope everyone likes this.

About 4 or 5 hours in total, the painted likeness itself took about 3 hours to paint.
